i think i've mentioned already that the builders are in.this is both good and bad.

on the positive side, it means that our cupboards are abundant with all kinds of biscuit. a downside is that everything is covered in a layer of concrete dust.

but.. it means that i have found myself the new perfect place to take outfit photos. whereas before this turned into a massive palaver; pushing my sofabed across the room, balancing mirrors and lampshades hap-hazardly, now I can stand on our new steps, perfectly positioned under the new sky lights and above the hallway mirror.

the lengths a blogger will go to to capture an outfit..(!)

the last two weeks have been filled with lovely surprises through the mail as I have discovered the joys of internet shopping. my most recent purchase was a pair of shorts from kirsty lee's store after she alerted me of their similiarity to this pair.

they're pale denim and you know what this means?

double denim time!

also a couple of new purchases from the weekend (even though I'm skint..)

a vintage bustier/waistcoat (depending on my mood) and and incredible cute flamingo pendant.

ooo i love flamingos, amazing! and your top outfit is amazing, simply chic, understated, wonderful! oh man, I hate when builders are in, when our kitchen got remodeled a year ago, I used to leave for school 20mn early because I hated eating breakfast with them watching haha

I like your quirky little Chloe Sevingey esque outfits. Haha I know how you feel about the builders. When we redid our kitchen the whole house was a disaster and we didnt eat anything but microwave meals and whole foods panninis for seven months.

The pale denim shorts are really lovely. And i know what you mean about builders and biscuits - when i was 7 we had our loft converted and the builders introduced us to all sorts of new varieties - my favourites were 'Gold' bars (but you probably didn't need to know that).

Ever read something on this blog that touched you, made you guffaw, or that you passed onto a friend because you thought they might like it? If so, would you like to buy me a coffee to enjoy whilst writing at the weekend?
